Yet . . . Satan delights in paralyzing us when we start living in fear of making mistakes.
We have all lived in our ‘own’ confidence and have suffered the consequences – but, once we have repented and received mercy and forgiveness from God – now we can move forward and operate in the ‘fearless’ confidence of the Spirit of God living in us!
Heb. 10:35-36
“Do not, therefore, fling away your fearless confidence, for it carries a great and glorious compensation of reward. For you have need of steadfast patience and endurance, so that you may perform and fully accomplish the will of God, and thus receive and carry away [and enjoy to the full] what is promised.”
II Timothy 1:7
“For God did not give us a spirit of timidity (of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning fear), but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control.”
